Onno de Groot

I joined Clearwater in 2023 as Partner, bringing over 16 years of corporate finance and M&A experience, as well as a wide network and strong sector knowledge in the fields of consumer, retail, food, agriculture, and industrials, to further enhance Clearwater’s advisory proposition. During my career, I have advised clients on a broad range of transactions, including buy and sell-side assignments, corporate carve-outs and leveraged buy-outs, both domestic and cross-border, along with equity and debt capital raises. To date, I have completed over 50 M&A transactions with a combined deal value exceeding €5bn. My core focus is to spearhead Clearwater’s coverage in the Netherlands within the consumer, food & beverage and industrials sectors, while being actively involved in the firm’s private equity coverage. Prior to Clearwater, I was Director at PwC Corporate Finance, where I led the Consumer & Retail corporate finance team in the Netherlands.

I joined Clearwater in April 2023 within the ESG and Impact Team. I am responsible for supporting and delivering our ESG and Impact service line for our clients, adding value through the creation and advancement of ESG strategy, roadmaps, and regulatory preparedness. My entire career has been working within the sustainability sector and before Clearwater, I worked across numerous sectors, including food and beverage, real estate, and luxury retail. Within these roles, I functioned as an in-house ESG subject matter expert, working to develop and implement sustainability strategies and mitigate risk, as well as managing external investor relations, corporate partnerships, and ESG reporting.

John Sheridan

I am the Managing Partner of Clearwater's Irish business. As founders of this business, John Curtin and I joined up with Clearwater in October 2015 having traded as a boutique brand known as Core Corporate Finance over the previous year. Prior to this, I was Managing Director at Key Capital Corporate Finance in Dublin, where I worked for eight years. I have 21 years’ experience as a corporate finance professional having originally qualified as a chartered accountant with PwC in 1997. At Clearwater, I lead our food & beverage team internationally. Our team in Ireland covers all sectors with a particular focus on food & beverage, TMT, industrials & chemicals and business services. The deals I am most proud of are the sale of IT services business, Version1, where we advised the shareholders on the company’s sale to private equity firm, Volpi Capital in a €90m MBO, followed recently by the sale of telecommunications engineering business, KN Group to French-based Circet. Since joining Clearwater, I try to lead by example and inspire our team to drive for excellence and high performance in everything we do. The strong results-oriented and personalised culture of our firm helps both retain and attract great talent. I enjoy working with highly ambitious entrepreneurs who are looking to develop their business internationally and use my experience gained over the past 21 years in navigating the optimal M&A process to help achieve their goals. I have completed eleven transactions over the past three years at Clearwater with a combined deal value of c. €1bn.
